A player who appears to be privileged to have signed for us. The little I seen of him so far, I get that 'Gary Jones' feel about him and I sincerely hope he become's as successful with us as Jones did.

 

What really excites me about Danny Rowe is that you always expect something to happen when he gets the ball. He's strong, clever, plays with both feet, sees openings and is always on the front foot. Who's the last offensive player we had like that?

 

Yep, agree with that. Another force of nature.

Kamara once said about Dean Windass on Skysports. Off the pitch he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer but on it there aren't many cleverer. Rowe does look similar, you do expect something to happen when he gets the ball.

 

I think there's an argument that Hornby's distribution and in particular his kicking seems better. O'Donnell's kicks seemed to drift straight out and with not much distance.

Haven't seen enough of him communicating/commanding his area to give an opinion on that.

 

I agree he gives away a lot of unneccesary fouls but at the same time it's piss funny watching him just push the defender over every time they try and block off his runs

 

Just watched the sights on sounds video City shared, watching Danny Rowe absolutely smash NKP twice was bloody satisfying.

Love that bloke

This is a good article about Rowe - and I've read that Fylde were really disappointed and surprised when he said he wanted to move to Oldham.

I think they felt he was going to stay there until retirement, given how happy he was.

Still, it's clear Rowe wanted to play at a higher level and probably sooner, so there are certainly a question mark or two around why it never happened sooner. Possibly nobody felt confident enough to part with a fee?

What might be good news for us is Rowe doesn't have the same number of athletic miles on the clock as other 32 year olds. I wonder if he can do a Deano and play into his late thirties?
